博客來What if the leadership principles that built the most magical place on Earth were rooted in the same biblical truths that have been transforming lives for thousands of years?
Walt Disney sat on a park bench, watching his daughters ride a carousel-and dreamed of something the world had never seen. Abraham left everything he knew and walked toward a promise he couldn’t yet see. Both men were driven by a vision bigger than themselves. Both changed the world.
In Faith, Leadership, and Walt Disney, Rev. Dr. William B. Brunson draws a fascinating parallel between the innovative genius of Walt Disney and the timeless leadership wisdom found in Scripture. This isn’t a book about theme parks. It’s a book about what happens when purpose meets persistence, when courage meets calling, and when a Christ-follower decides to lead with everything they’ve got.
Through seven powerful chapters, Dr. Brunson walks readers through the leadership principles that made Walt Disney one of history’s most transformative figures-and reveals how each one is deeply anchored in biblical truth:
- Vision and Purpose-How Abraham’s leap of faith and Walt’s park-bench dream both prove that seeing it is the first step to becoming it
- Faith and Trust-Why David’s courage before Goliath and Walt’s bet-it-all resilience share the same DNA
- Courage and Risk-What Esther’s boldness and Walt’s willingness to fail teach us about stepping into the unknown
- Perseverance and Resilience-How Nehemiah rebuilt walls and Walt rebuilt dreams after bankruptcy, betrayal, and loss
- Excellence and Quality-Why Bezalel’s craftsmanship and Walt’s obsessive attention to detail are acts of worship
- Servant Leadership-What Jesus washing His disciples’ feet and Walt rolling up his sleeves reveal about the power of leading by serving
- Integration-How bringing all these principles together creates the compound effect that changes everything
Drawing on nearly thirty-five years of pastoral ministry and leadership development, Dr. Brunson writes with warmth, humor, and the kind of practical insight that makes you want to highlight every other page. Whether you’re leading a Fortune 500 company, pastoring a church, running a classroom, or guiding your family, this book will challenge you to raise your leadership to a level that honors God and transforms the people around you.
This is a book for the dreamers and the doers. For Christians who want to grow as disciples and lead lives of purpose and significance. For anyone who has ever believed that with God, no mountain is too high and no dream is too impossible to reach.
If you lead people, you are changing eternity. This book will help you do it well.
